THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, MAy 8, 2026 Page 3 SESSION ONE | FROM PAGE 2 ter of Precinct 9 Town Meeting Member Jaime Lincoln. DISCOURAGING CUTTHROUGH TRAFFIC: Article 30, to see if the town will vote for a Town Policy on Speed Tables and Traffic Calming Devices, received unanimous support from Town Meeting. The measure, initiated by all five Precinct 10 Town Meeting members, suggests that the Board of Selectmen implement a policy that falls within its powers as traffic commissioners. Precinct 10 Town Meeting Member Peter Manoogian noted that selectmen would have to obtain consulting services to determine the basis for installing speed tables and other traffic calming devices. “We believe that properly placed and designed speed tables and calming devices can serve as effective tools, in specific circumstances, to reduce vehicular speeds and discourage cut-through traffic on residential streets,” the article noted. “These measures can help address concerns related to traffic safety and enhance the quality of life for residents.” Manoogian acknowledged there might be costs associated with developing a policy and installation of the devices – but costs that would be justified by public safety and quality of life improvements.
